Calvin Johnson can't stand the Chicago Bears

Calvin Johnson made it known how he feels about the Chicago Bears.

Maybe it was because the Bears were one of the few teams able to slow him down a tad last year, or maybe it's the natural rivalry between Detroit and Chicago, but Johnson spoke with some fire when asked about Sunday's opponent.

“It’s easy to have a dislike for them,” Johnson said, via the Detroit Free Press. “It’s not hard at all. Can’t stand them, one, because they’re filling up the stadium a lot with a lot of Bears fans. So that’s one reason I can’t stand them."

Johnson will have his hands full against an opportunistic secondary that already has five interceptions this season.

Johnson's gotten out to a hot start of his own, too, catching 17 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns.
